Augrented Insights Report for 140 Lafayette Avenue

140 Lafayette Avenue is a 5-story, 12-unit residential building located in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, and was built in 1930. The property, currently owned by David Lefkowitz, has experienced recurring moisture issues, with three mold-related complaints documented between 2021 and 2024, including two emergency complaints in February 2024 that resulted in Housing Maintenance Code violations being issued for mold in the bathroom of apartment 3A.

The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug management compliance, with no reported infestations in the past four annual filing periods from 2021 to 2025, and the most recent filing in May 2025 showing zero infested or re-infested units. The building has undergone several inspections revealing various maintenance issues, including multiple violations in 2018 related to security and safety systems, such as the need for proper vestibule locking mechanisms and maintenance of smoke detectors in apartment 3A. Structural concerns were noted in 2021 when decorative stone above the third-floor window lintel was observed to be damaged, though this violation was resolved.

The building experienced two vibration-related complaints in 2021 and 2022, with one resulting in an OATH violation being served, though no violations were found during inspection in the other case. While rodent activity was initially detected in 2015, a subsequent compliance inspection in 2016 showed passing results, indicating improved pest management. The property has also maintained its bedbug reporting requirements, with consistent filings showing effective management of potential infestations, though there was a violation for failing to file the annual report in early 2023.
